I have a 2.2.12 kernel with IP Chains, IP Masq, diald, etc. I have determined that the server never dials out, when one of the workstations tries to access the internet, unless I type in the command "ipmasq" at the server prompt.
I do have the file ipmasq in /etc/init.d (and in rcS.d, etc. as S41ipmasq), I have included the first portion of the file below. I tried adding the line "/sbin/ipmasq" to this file, right below the line that starts out "test", but this had no effect. What do I need to do to make the dialout process automatic? ------------IPMASQ------------- #!/bin/bash # # ipmasq.init Set up IP Masquerading for Debian systems # # v3.0 19 July 1998 test -x /sbin/ipmasq || exit 1 case $1 in start|restart|force-reload) ... ------------- END ----------- Thanks, Steve Martin
